AirGas / Air Liquide

I'm new to this site and I have a few questions regarding Air Liquide buying Airgas. I was just hired on at Airgas as a class A company driver doing the same dedicated route as a shuttle driver. I work for the Airgas Plant delivering what that particular plant produces. Airgas is currently made up of a lot of separate companies and divisions. Does anyone know if Airgas is going to be brought in under one umbrella working under Air Liquide? If so, are Air Liquide drivers in a union? One thing that I know for sure is that some Airgas drivers are union, some are not. The last thing I want to do is start asking these questions to anyone at Airgas since Ive just been hired on there.

 

I'm in the midwest. I'd prefer not to give my exact location being that Im brand new to this site and brand new to Airgas

 

Don't get me wrong, I'm very excited to go to work for Airgas. I'm getting paid a great hourly wage and there are all kinds of bonuses and benefits. But since the news of Air Liquid buying Airgas, I can't help but wonder what changes are due to be happening in the coming months

 

I was informed by 2 of the drivers at the plant we are out of that some union reps have recently been in contact with most the drivers at our location and only 1 out of 8 expressed any interest in becoming union. As the new driver at this location, I'm not going to push anything after hearing that. If it were ever brought to a vote I would have no problem about joining as long as the terms were good.
